Widening tlic bi'oach between the ones who have and those who are strtiKJflinn, the fight ajfuinst the income tax law of Ore gon Kues on. Some of the moneyed people who are so short sighted they think things can go on forever as they are now going have hired a publicity man, have secured a sufficient amount of signatures fur the referendum and will proceed lo revoke the legislature's ef fort to give' the people an absolutely fair and impartial law which will spread the burden of taxation so that farmers and home own ers will not be paying an unjust portion. We wonder how long these city dwellers imagine that the inco.mf C'KACKS goose is going lo lay the golden egg. It is mighty line lor the high !rho income tux, uh, the iniome tux. salaried city man to receive his thousands for his sei-vices and pay ! !,'s '" . ,ltak "ur b"cks;j 1 We can t have wine and we can t no taxes. have beer, It is mighty fine for him to enjoy all the privileges of stale anil ;Ani1 ,,lls ll, w come '"l tax is l,ere county and city and say to the chap who owns the property, "You The income tax, oh, the income tax, iiaV for An' tJolice nrotection : vou nav for mv stale eovernmont : "uh i K'"v-' and watch it wax; you pay for the county and city administration.

(,'ravc.i, (TJieir jolis their only resource); Ho we weep and vote they've irot 1 our Koat i We have no i lher resource. They may defeat the income tax law by misrepresentation ; they may defeat it by making the telephone girl, the clerical ele ment and the wage earner believe that the law will affect them, but just as sure as they do they are breeding that trouble which later will haunt them and bring on a condition far more tense and severe than these city dwellers ever imagine could happen. And then we will hear these same self-satisfied, self-cenlered ones calling upon the "bone and brawn" of Oregon to save them. May heaven have pity on their poor souls. Can't they see the Tinbalanced condition of today; can't they see that their petly pro fessions, their little city shops, their1 alleged fickle incomes will ' perish as the dew before the morning sun unless there is a general readjustment of affairs, including taxation? ' Go on, you who are ladeued with self-conceit, you who are drunk with' your own temporary success, you who are lolling in the lap of present-day luxury; go on, defeat the law, if you can, but when once defeated and the crisis conies do not call upon the men on the farms and the rural sections to save you from your own : depravity. , I Thus far the argument against the income tax law is that it will :t drive industry from the state. No industry of consequence will leave Oregon because it makes money and thrives and pays a small j part ffi' its income for stale purposes. No individual will shift his property lo another state because he is asked to contribute his sha:e of public expense if he is a good citizen. API such argument is the purest kind of propaganda and is without foundation. ' Learned lawyers of Portland have been declaring the law un constitutional because an "i" was not dotted or a "t" crossed, but we have a supreme court that is pretty well equipped to pass on the law when it is necessary and the learned attorneys up to date have found nothing but the possible twisting of a word upon which to base their argument. Income tax is on the horizon of every state. It will come just us the iisualian ballot came, 'just as the direct primary came, just as woman suffrage came. If the present law should suffer a referendum defeat, still we say, the income tax is coining. For the cups that cheer (all forever here) Are sold tax free now, ain't that (ueor?
